Yancy - The Best Web Framework Deserves the Best CMS
version 1.088
Yancy is a simple content management system (CMS) for the Mojolicious web framework.
Get started with the Yancy documentation!
This file documents the application base class. You can use this class directly
via the yancy command, or you can extend this class to build your own app.
If you have an existing Mojolicious application you want to add Yancy to, see Mojolicious::Plugin::Yancy.
The base Yancy class exists to provide a way to rapidly prototype a data-driven web application. Apps that inherit from Yancy get these features out-of-the-box:
- The Yancy CMS (Mojolicious::Plugin::Yancy)
- Database editor (Yancy::Plugin::Editor)
- User logins (Yancy::Plugin::Auth)
- Role-based access controls (Yancy::Plugin::Roles)
If you're familiar with developing Mojolicious applications, you can start from the app skeleton at https://github.com/preaction/Yancy/tree/master/eg/skeleton.
To begin writing a new application from scratch, create a lib
directory and add a MyApp.pm file that extends the Yancy class:
package MyApp;
use Mojo::Base 'Yancy', -signatures;
As in any other Mojolicious app, add your routes, plugins, and other setup to
the startup method. Don't forget to call Yancy's "startup" method!
sub startup( $self ) {
$self->SUPER::startup;
# ... Add your routes and other setup here
}
Next, create a configuration file named my_app.conf to connect to your database:
{
backend => 'sqlite:my_app.db',
}
Last, create a simple application script
named script/my_app to start your application:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use Mojo::Base -strict;
use lib qw(lib);
use Mojolicious::Commands;
# Start command line interface for application
Mojolicious::Commands->start_app('MyApp');
Now you can run ./script/my_app daemon to start your app!
To make developing your app easy and fun, make sure you're familiar with these guides:
